Stupid question about Autograph Books

[flick]

I know this is going to sound silly, but how do you make an Autograph book? I know how to print out the pages but what kind of paper do you use for the cover? Also how do you put this whole thing together? I would love to make 2 books for our friends kids but I am having a brain fart kind of day.

Thank you in advance,
Kim

Everyone does their's a little differently. I print my pages on lightweight cardstock or 28 lb paper (depending on how many pages). The graphics are 4x6 but I leave about an inch and a half on the top for binding. I also scan the signed pages into my computer for use in my scrapbooks so the extra room on toI cut the pages myself. I have mine bound on top with spiral at our local Kinkos.

As I wasn't sure what characters I was going to run into, I put mine in a 4x6 album from the Dollar store. Here's some ideas from a thread that was posted a while ago.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. Penny

Love your scrap booking pages - do you have a certain place you get your temps from or do you make them up too? You are very talented in many ways girl! I love those!!! I just started my hand at digital scrap booking (been doing traditional for 10 years now.) I thought I would do a digital when I get back from Disney. Would love to see more of your scrap book pages if you have them any where! Thanks for sharing your idea here I like it!

Thanks,
I do most of the layouts and embellishments myself. I have my books printed by Shutterfly so that is why the double layout is panoramic. When i have more of it finished, I'll post the link to the book on Shutterfly.com.

So to have them bound, I should leave an extra inch or two at the top? Also, what sort of paper (chipboard???) did you use for the top and bottom?
